SEPA changes and new ISO 20022 standards

Created on  | Last modified on 

Summary

Information about the upcoming SEPA changes in November 2025 and how this affects Sage Payroll.

Description

What's changing 

The ISO 20022 is a standard for data exchange between financial institutions, and is the messaging standard used for SEPA payments.

If you use SEPA payments, you need to make certain changes in your payments files. 

The fields are BIC, execution date and post address fields. The changes affect SEPA Credit Transfer, SEPA Direct Debit and Multi Currency payment files. This impacts all businesses making payments to countries where SEPA is in use.


Sage Payroll software

We're working closely with the relevant departments and agencies to confirm all the requirements.

To implement these changes, all you need to do is install Sage Payroll v28.1, once it's available later this year.
